lol, did you not read ANYTHING I posted?
I picked up an entire RUNNING 4.8L LR4. Complete minus an A/C pump and tranny.
Wiring harness.. Everything.
$100
Yes, one hundred.
As far as V8's go. no one does it quite as well as chevy. Why do you think the LSx based motors have remained almost unchanged for 60 years? No matter what V8 you get it will always be heavier than a KA or SR. Plain and simple.
The iron block SBC's weigh approx 70-80lbs more than the aluminum version. But the aluminum versions are already significantly heavier than any 4 cyl anyways.
And I hope no one still believes the "LS1 is lighter than the KA and SR", bullshit spread through out the interwebs.

Hey mondo, do you know if a 700R4, TH400, or TH350 would bolt to the 4.8L?

While I can't confirm 100%. Almost all LSx based blocks share the same bell housing bolt patterns.
A T-56 will bolt up to the LR4. So that should give you a decent idea.
